A defendant has a Sixth Amendment right to an attorney

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sixth Amendment specifies that defendants have the right to counsel "at a preliminary hearing." This means that if a defendant is ordered to appear before a judge to determine if there is enough evidence to justify a trial, they have the right to be represented by an attorney. The other choices (A, B, C) are incorrect because the Sixth Amendment does not specifically address habeas corpus, grand jury investigations, or grand jury proceedings.
